What a breathtaking experience... I was looking for a hotel with an infinity pool when I came across Adiwana Dara Ayu. I had already booked 3 nights in Dwaraka Villas in Ubud and had my plan pretty much ready but I just had to give this hotel a try so I canceled one of the nights in Ubud and booked here instead. I was a bit cautious due to the negative comments about the condition of the rooms and the overall cleanliness. Having stayed at the hotel, I can firmly say that those are coming from people who have never set a foot in the wilderness and if civilization seizes to exist tomorrow, they will perish with it. Yes, bugs do enter the rooms if you keep the doors and windows open but nothing that bothered us. I did not see any holes in the mosquito nets over the bed and the room was impeccably clean. All 4 of us consider this hotel as the highlight of our trip to Bali and we will come next time specifically to spend more days in it. We loved the gardens, the swimming pools and the view form the restaurant. If you're wondering if you should book here or not, do not hesitate. This will will be an unforgettable trip :)

The water in the swimming pools was a bit cold but it was the same case in Dwaraka villas in Ubud, so I guess this is something common. Did not bother us, though. You get used to it pretty fast.

The hotel is small and there you have a lot of space just for you, nobody can interrupt you. View from the hotel and swimming pool is breathtaking. The staff is so kind and helpful. Recomended if you don't like crowds of other guests and want to enjoy a beautiful nature together with your love. Just be cautious (with the bed sheets and robes), and your stay will be unforgettable.

Bed sheets and robes were a bit dirty. They seem to be washed but still with dirty spots. The staff can replace it upon your request but be prepared that all services are available only until 9:00 pm. Also you have to be prepared for humidity as the hotel is located in the jungle. And it is slightly far away from civilization.

Absolutely stunning view from the pool and the restaurant! The restaurant menu is limited, but all the options we've tried were good. The staff were friendly and helpful. Clean rooms, pool, and common areas. Loved the stylized facilities and amenities. The massage was superb!

Location is far from everything - attractions, restaurants, towns - but perfect for a peaceful getaway. Insects - as expected deep in the jungle. Be prepared to organise your own tours. For the destination tours on the hotel website, the pages didn't load past Book Now. Provided there WhatsApp number - no answer. Once we arrived, the staff gave us the driver's number - we had a call - only to learn the next morning that he had already left with other guests prior to our agreed time! The staff helped us find another driver, but I still had to arrange it. Saying that, all the activities organized at the hotel - floating breakfast, picnic in the rice fields, massage - went smoothly and were easy to book with the staff.

Absolutely loved our stay. We were a group of 6 people with 3 rooms. Staff were exceptional. I would recommend staying here for a max of 2-3 nights as it’s in the middle of no where. 30 minute massage was included and the breakfast included was amazing! Our rooms were surrounded by another pool which made it seem more of a private vibe. I would definitely recommend staying here just to relax.

THE STEPS! Although it was to be expected as you are literally in the jungle - the staff go above and beyond and assist with luggage, there were many steps getting to the entrance and also the rooms. This wouldn’t deter my stay though it’s more of a FYI….

Loved the scenery of the hotel in the forest area. The staff were fantastic and helpful with a smile on their face all the time. Food at the hotel was very tasty although a little limited.

Had to change rooms in the beginning as the toilet was based outside which we weren't comfortable with. Also could do with more lights outside when walking from the room to the main lobby area as it was very dark and could easily trip

It is a beautiful property in the middle of the jungle. The gardens were really well designed and maintained , just like a fairytale. The rooms all very secluded and the views amazing every way you look. The staff all very friendly and helpful. The rooms are beautifully designed and bedding spotless. The pool is stunning - just as the photos show.

There were ants in one of our rooms which weren’t attended to and we had a tokay gecko in the other. Reported on the first night but only on attempt was made to remove it. Therefore had very little sleep. Some of the wooden parts of the hotel such as decking and doors are ageing and could do with repair. They ran out of wine on second night and didn’t get any more supplies in. We only wanted a bottle with dinner.

The hotel was an absolute paradise being in nature and having the jungle surround us. the employees were so sweet and helpful! we did two full days of adventures with Adi. he helped us plan our day trips and drove us around. he absolutely exceeded our expectations and we highly recommend you book a trip with him.

We really liked the food and the location, it is located in the jungle surrounded by rice fields. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The infinity pools were very cool, the water too cold for us though. The bathroom was open and a very special atmosphere.

The nights were very noisy and the rooms not well isolated. The blankets and pillows were a bit smelly/dirty, we think this is due to the humidity and a gekko who was living in the roof over the bed and pooped down on the bed, floor etc.

Everything was nice. Overall very happy, some small issues could be improved. Location is secluded which makes it special is like living in the jungle

Outdoor toilets are not always ideal, but was okay. Also because its secluded transport can be an issue sometimes. Grab works most of the time, but at times it doesnt. Responsiveness is not always 100% from the staff. But these are minor, overall very nice experience. The best accomodation I stayed in Bali.

The view and the location is awesome.

The services and the restaurant are horrible bad and vers expensive. You can only buy small waters from them AND we figured out that these small glass bottles were used several times, the safety seal in almost every bottle were opened. Our villa was not in good shape, during the night birds came in our our and stole the tissues from the bathroom, we laughed about it because its funny and nice, but on the other hand the birds also pooped to the floor. We stayed two nights here, they forget the cleaning. Ordered an ice coffe then gave me an americano. In the afternoon they had no milk in the bar. The sunbeds were extremely dirty, the towels were smelly and I could list more. During our holiday we stayed in 5 other places in Bali, it was the most expensive and maybe the worst.
